Positive Behavior Intervention Support
CCPS is a PBIS District.
Each school is encouraged to have its own PBIS Team
School-wide PBIS is an evidenced-based three-tiered framework to improve and integrate data, systems and practices, affecting student outcomes every day in the areas of social, emotional and behavioral functioning.
PBIS is not: A packaged curriculum, abandonment of discipline, bribery for good behavior, ignoring inappropriate behavior or a quick fix!
Essential PBIS classroom practices outlined in the research that have been linked to positive outcomes for ALL students:
Maximize Structure
Teach Expectations and Rules
Actively Engage Students
Acknowledge Appropriate Behavior
Responding to Inappropriate Behavior
Specifically, PBIS implemented school-wide is associated with the following outcomes:
Improved academic performance
Reduced bullying behaviors
Improved social-emotional competence
Improved social and academic outcomes for students with disabilities
Decreased rates of student-reported drug and alcohol abuse
Reduced office discipline referrals, suspensions, and incidents of restraint and seclusion
Improved teacher outcomes, including perception of teacher efficacy; school organizational health and school climate, and perception of school safety
